Not what I thought it would be..., 2008-03-10
It really isn't any more information than you could get it you just made a little effort yourself on the internet. I had expected some new ideas or better results than what I got.

Total rip off, 2006-01-06
Nothing in here we didn't already know. For example: the government offers free information. Join a travel club to get discounts. It wasn't even aimed at seniors. One of the worst books ever. Save your money.

Waste of time and money, 2005-06-24
I agree with bibliophile. Most of the 'free' things were catalogs. Here's a sampling of the 'free' stuff. L.L Bean Catalogs, pamplets on raising puppies and kittens from Purina, a free copy of 'Sheer Facts About Hoisery', a Lane Bryant catalog, Lilian Vernon and Harriet Carter catalogs, a free photo or greeting from the president. And the list goes on and on. What do these things have to to with seniors? There are about 100 pages in the back where they talk about free prescription programs and some State sponsored programs for seniors. That might be the only redeeming thing in this book. I returned it to Amazon. I only gave it one star because Amazon doesn't allow zero.

A disappointment, 2004-08-08
Most of the items in this book were not specifically focused on deals for seniors. I got the feeling that the same contents could have several different covers and be marketed to other niches. In addition, so many of the free things were "free catalogs" or "free recipes"...anyone can get that information off of the Internet without buying a book!

Free Things for Seniors, 2002-05-14
I am not over 50 but I have quite a few relatives and friends that I purchased this book for. Their feedback has been nothing but positive as far as the usefulness of this resource guide and even the fun factor of waiting for free stuff in the mail.
It has been an invaluable book for them and I know what I am getting for my in-laws as well as my wifes Aunt for a gift when we go to visit them.If you have family or friends that are 50 and over this is a no brainer and a perfect inexpensive gift that you won't go wrong with, unless they don't like getting free things.
